Employee Transport Services in GIFT City
Employee transport into GIFT City is an access-control problem before it is a routing problem. Inside the SEZ the roads are wide and uncongested; the difficulty is the gate, the 25 km arc from West Ahmedabad, and a roster that follows global market hours instead of an Indian office clock. Commutec runs rostered pick-up and drop for IFSC banking units, fund houses and GCCs on an SEZ-cleared pool, feeding the towers from Infocity, Kudasan, Randesan, Chandkheda and the SG Highway belt.

Indicative contracted-account bands for GIFT City and Gandhinagar. Tolls (including Adalaj), parking, permits, IFSC pass administration and driver night-halt allowances are pass-through at actuals. GST 5% applies on the standard package without input tax credit; 12% with ITC is available on request.
The IFSC pass reality every buyer should price in
GIFT is a gated SEZ. Vehicle supply is not the constraint here — access is. Both the car and the chauffeur need current security clearance, and visitor vehicles must have their registration number filed with GIFT security before arrival.
- Vehicle pass and chauffeur pass are issued separately and expire separately
- A relief chauffeur who is not pre-cleared cannot enter, even in the same car
- SEZ Processing Area access is cleared separately from the Domestic Tariff Area
- Visitor vehicle numbers must be filed with security ahead of the arrival window
- Commutec runs a ring-fenced IFSC-cleared pool with relief chauffeurs pre-cleared and expiry tracked on 90/30/7-day alerts
Where GIFT staff actually travel from
- Infocity and Kudasan — 12-18 minutes inbound, the densest morning feeder
- Randesan and Sargasan — the fastest-growing residential belt for GIFT staff
- Gandhinagar Sectors 1-30 — steady, signal-limited runs into the towers
- Chandkheda and Motera — the Ahmedabad-side feeder via the SP Ring Road
- Thaltej, Bodakdev and SG Highway — where senior management lives, 35-50 minutes out
Night-band safety, because GIFT works global market hours
IFSC desks track London and US sessions, so a material share of GIFT movement falls between 20:00 and 06:00. Night safety here is standing operating procedure, not an escalation path.
- Escort protocol and first-pickup / last-drop rules for women employees on the night band
- In-cab AI camera with fatigue and distraction alerts
- Rider OTP before trip start; verified chauffeur identity on the rider's phone
- Live trip-share to a nominated contact and to our 24x7 control tower
- One-tap SOS with geofenced route-deviation alerts
Reporting your compliance team will accept
- On-time percentage by route, by shift and by female-window separately
- Escort compliance log with exception reasons on every night trip
- Chauffeur compliance pack: PSV badge, police verification, IFSC pass, all with expiry dates
- Occupancy and cost-per-seat trends so routes can be re-cut quarterly
- Cost-centre-wise monthly MIS on a single reconciled invoice
Frequently asked questions
How quickly can a GIFT City employee transport programme go live?
Around 21 days end-to-end, including IFSC pass issuance for the ring-fenced vehicle and chauffeur pool. Pass clearance, not vehicle sourcing, is the long pole in GIFT.
What does employee transport cost per seat in GIFT City?
Rostered shared pick-up and drop typically runs ₹8,500-12,500 per seat per month depending on catchment spread, shift pattern and occupancy. A dedicated shift cab runs ₹48,000-58,000 a month.
Do you handle night shifts for IFSC desks?
Yes, and they are routine here. GIFT tracks London and US market hours, so we run escort protocol, first-pickup and last-drop rules, in-cab AI cameras, rider OTP, live trip-share and one-tap SOS to a 24x7 control tower on every 20:00-06:00 route.
Can you run feeders from both Gandhinagar and Ahmedabad?
Yes. We dispatch across four zones — IFSC-Core, Gandhinagar-Feeder, West-Ahmedabad and the AMD corridor — so short Infocity feeders and the long SG Highway shuttle sit on the same contract without sharing the same vehicles.
